"Would You Be Ready" and "Double Portion"

The first one goes something like:

"Tell me would you be ready to go... Or would you fall down on your knees, and cry Lord, save me please... Now the Master's calling you. If you'll take one step, He'll take two..."

The second one is a newer song, I think... It says:

"Grant/give me a double portion of Your Spirit in my life..."

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! I've had these songs on my heart, but I can't find the rest of the words to them.

God Bless!

You may have already found the words to these songs, but just in case, I can help with the second one. The song is called "Double Portion" and although I can't find the lyrics anywhere, I know most of the words:
Elijah rose and went away on a chariot of fire,
The legacy he left behind was one to be desired.
His mantle drifted in the wind, back to this earthen land,
It came to rest on the shoulders of a young ambitious man.

Elisha felt the burden this mantle would demand,
He accepted his position in Jehovah's mighty plan.
But the raiment of Elijah didn't seem to be enough,
so God sent a double portion of his spirit from above.

Chorus
God grant a double portion of your spirit in my life,
For the things I do are not by my own power, strength or might.
This mantle that's been laid on me will not fulfill one need,
Til you let a double portion of your spirit in my life.

Well, I've just gone blank on the rest of the song. There's another verse about patriarchs and saints that have gone before, but I can't remember exactly how it goes. I do know that an album by New Desire called Double Portion features the song. It's available on Christianbook.com.
